A Gatling gun with six barrels, engraved with mysterious, profound patterns, appeared in Zhang Yang's hands, radiating an endless aura of danger.

"Gatling?"

Mammon had not expected Zhang Yang to fuss around for so long only to produce a six-barreled Vulcan Gatling. He was somewhat disappointed.

"Yeah, a Gatling."

Zhang Yang nodded and aimed the barrels at Mammon. "Let us leave now, and it is not too late."

"It is just a Gatling."

Mammon sounded disappointed. "Hell has plenty of weapons like this. There are even Katyushas!"

"Looks like talking is useless."

Zhang Yang said no more and pulled the trigger.

Bullets formed from the magic power within his body fired at a rate of three thousand six hundred rounds per second, each one as powerful as a rocket.

That was merely the initial power.

The patterns on the barrels were not there just for show. They were all Kamar-Taj's Ultimate Enchantments, such as Ultimate Sharpness, Ultimate Acceleration, Ultimate Heavy Strike, Ultimate Defense Bypass, Ultimate Fire Damage Boost...

After roughly counting them, there were more than twenty in all. Not that many, really.

Thus, when the first magic bullet struck Mammon, the proud Prince of Hell finally understood a principle.

Never judge a person by appearance, and never measure a Gatling by its looks!

"This is impossi..."

Mammon's body, which contained one-tenth of his origin, did not even last long enough for him to finish a sentence. Before he could finish speaking, his body was annihilated by the metal storm of bullets.

Not even a scrap remained.

"Ding! Detected that the host has killed Mammon (Avatar). System reward obtained: Physical Strength +20!"

"That was it?"

The familiar system notification and familiar warm current appeared, yet Zhang Yang was still not happy. He had thought Mammon was powerful and had specifically added so many enchantments to prevent his attacks from failing to break through his defense. Who would have thought the other side was such trash, unable to last even one second?

His battle preparations had been completely wasted.

With Mammon's death, this dimensional gap lost its energy supply and began to collapse.

Zhang Yang casually opened a Portal and tossed himself out one after another before patting his hands and slowly walking out.

Just as the Portal completely closed, two figures suddenly appeared within the dimensional gap that was about to be destroyed.

"You failed."

The figure radiating endless holy light spoke, her voice cold and carrying the air of judgment. "Your carelessness caused this failure!"

"Shut up."

The other figure was a handsome, wicked-looking man in a black suit. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot as he stared in the direction Zhang Yang and the others had left. "Next time, I will not let him off so easily!"

"There will be no next time."

The holy figure gradually faded away. "From now on, wait peacefully for your entry into the human world. Leave the rest to me."

"You..."

The wicked-looking man flew into a rage. Cracks appeared throughout the dimensional gap, which had seemed frozen in time, and it shattered in an instant.

"Damn Gabriel... Once I enter the human world, I will make you pay!"

Inside the New York Sanctum, Zhang Yang met Mage Drumm, who was stationed there, and handed the Spear of Destiny to him.

"Do not worry."

Mage Drumm put away the Spear of Destiny and said, "Nothing will go wrong with this thing kept here."

"Then thank you, Mage Drumm."

Zhang Yang nodded. He also knew that while there were people who could snatch something from the hands of Mage Drumm, a peak-level Temple Mage, most of them were not in this world.

Protected by the dimensional barrier, those powerful beings could absolutely not appear in the human world in their true bodies. At most, they could send avatars or projections, and their strength would certainly not surpass Drumm's.

After leaving the New York Sanctum, Zhang Yang turned around and looked at the three people wearing resentful expressions. Ignoring Harry and Mera, he said to Angela, "Miss Dawson, you are safe now."

"Yes, safe..."

Angela's tone was complicated. She had only wanted to investigate her sister's death, but she had never expected to become caught up in such a terrifying vortex.

Fortunately, she was safe now.

"As for your sister..."

Zhang Yang hesitated. "Judging by the current situation, demons were most likely responsible. Her soul... has most likely already entered Hell."

"I know."

After experiencing what had happened last night and today, Angela had come to understand that angels and demons truly existed in this world. Having learned the truth behind her sister's death, her voice was somewhat low. "I will transfer the promised payment to Mr. Constantine. These past two days, you have all worked hard. Thank you."

Angela thanked Zhang Yang and the other two sincerely. She knew that without their protection, she would likely have been disemboweled last night and become the passage for the child of Hell to enter the human world.

"The matter is over. We should head back as well."

Zhang Yang nodded at Angela. Since things had come to a temporary end, they should return to Kamar-Taj.

Just as he was about to step into the Portal, Zhang Yang suddenly stopped. He took a silver necklace from his pocket, used magic power to draw a pattern onto it, and handed it to Angela.

"Keep this with you."

Zhang Yang explained the details. "It can protect your safety to a certain extent."

"Thank you."

Angela took the necklace and immediately put it around her neck. "Does it look good?"

"It does."

Zhang Yang nodded, turned around, and stepped into the Portal. He never saw the blush and... disappointment on Angela's face.

After closing the Portal, Zhang Yang was just about to call out to Harry and Mera, who had already gone far away, when he stopped.

He felt uneasy.

When he had left the dimensional gap, he had always felt that someone was watching him, but he had found no trace of anyone.

That feeling of being watched had disappeared when he entered the New York Sanctum. He had thought it was an illusion, but after leaving the New York Sanctum, it had returned.

He was certain it was not an illusion.

Someone was spying on them!

Therefore, he had left a backup plan. The necklace he had given Angela appeared to be an ordinary protective necklace, but he had actually left something within it.

It could ensure that the moment Angela encountered danger, it would protect her and notify him.

"I hope I am just imagining things."

Zhang Yang rubbed his temples and looked at the two figures walking away. In the end, he did not call out to them.

They were exhausted too. Besides, since even he could not tell who was spying on them, and the two of them would not be much help anyway, it was better to let them rest properly.

They had been worn out these past two days as well.

Zhang Yang slowly walked back to his dormitory, took a shower to wash away his exhaustion, then lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.

He slept deeply and even had a dream.

A... beautiful dream.

When everyone comes across advertisements asking, "Are you a real person?", there is no need to pay attention to them. Just close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!
